Lock Your Vehicles: Lower Merion Police Issue Warning Amid Thefts

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — Police in Lower Merion Township are urging residents to lock their vehicles amid a recent increase in vehicle break-ins.

Residents are being asked to lock their vehicles overnight to prevent criminals from breaking into them.

Police reported an increase in theft from unlocked vehicles recently. The thieves appear to be targeting higher-end vehicles, police said.

Residents should not leave valuables in their vehicles at the end of the day to deter thieves, and — if a break in occurs — not to suffer any losses. Valuables that must be kept in vehicles should be stored in the trunk or out of sight.

Additionally, police are urging residents not to leave keys in their vehicles no matter where they are parked.

Anyone who has been a victim of a vehicle break in or has information about a break in should contact Lower Merion Police at 610-649-1000.
